The requirement covers the overlabelling, storage and distribution of research drugs for clinical trials, including the GREAT-3 trial. Services will support deliveries to various trial sites in the UK and Spain. This is the second-generation term contract for the requirement, so suppliers should be able to manage an established clinical-trials logistics service rather than a one-off consignment. The work combines controlled handling and storage of research medicines with accurate labelling, order fulfilment and distribution to multiple destinations. It is a service procurement led by the University of Dundee on behalf of the clinical trials unit. The buyer reached the tender stage and invited offers through an open procedure. Responses were to be submitted electronically by 18 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC; tenders were scheduled to be opened at that time, and the evaluation period was due to start then. The contract covers 1,080 days, with a possible renewal in Year 4 if required. The estimated value is £130,000. The contract uses one lot, with variants not allowed, and bids must remain valid until 16 October 2026. Evaluation requires evidence of at least three similar projects successfully completed in the previous three years. Staff names and qualifications must be provided, and execution of the service is reserved to a particular profession. Electronic payment and ordering apply. This opportunity suits specialist pharmaceutical logistics, clinical-trial supply-chain and research-medicine distribution providers. Strong candidates will have practical systems for compliant overlabelling, secure storage, stock control, traceability and delivery of research drugs to multiple clinical-trial sites. They should be able to coordinate UK and Spanish shipments, maintain accurate records and meet the quality and service conditions in the tender documents. Demonstrable experience is central: bidders must show that they have successfully managed comparable projects and provide evidence of at least three such projects. The requirement also calls for staff names and qualifications, so suppliers need an appropriately skilled delivery team and the professional capability required to perform the service. Providers able to combine operational capacity with reliable clinical-trial logistics controls are best placed to compete. ## Notice This tender relates to a second generation of the above referenced term contract on behalf of Tayside Clinical Trials Unit (TCTU) ### Lot Information Lot 1 This is the Second Generation of Over labelling, Storage and Distribution of Research Drugs to various sites in respect of Clinical Trials (service required for GREAT-3 clinical trial to UK and Spanish Sites).
